About This Home
As of May 2025Welcome to this waterfront estate with 100' along the Indian River and canal. Inside, two owner suites give everyone their space and the wood-burning fireplace brings everyone together. The kitchen was thoughtfully remodeled with walnut cabinets, a built-in pantry, and instant hot water—designed for real living. Bathrooms have also been beautifully updated, and recent upgrades like the 2021 HVAC, 2022 water heater, new washer/dryer, and electrical panel offer worry free living. Outside, it's a quiet paradise: a newer fence, three fruit trees (mango, star fruit, lychee), lush native landscaping, and a brand-new 52' dock with built-in bench shelving—where calm waters and endless views create the ultimate backdrop.
